Description of the Course

The Department of Psychology of the University of Milano-Bicocca will offer a new Master's Degree in Applied Experimental Psychological Sciences (AEPS), starting from 2017-2018.The 2-year Master Degree program focuses on how basic and advanced knowledge in psychological sciences can be fruitfully applied to address relevant needs andtackle diverse issues in a range of contexts and domains. The goal of the program is to teach cutting-edge perspectives on the cognitive, social, emotional, and neuralprocesses underlying human thought, behavior, language, knowledge, and decisionmaking.AEPS graduates will acquire advanced general knowledge, strong transferrable methodological research skills, and a specific focus of application of these skills, henceforth combining flexibility (e.g., the methodological research skills can be applied to a wide range of issues) and specificity (e.g., they are applied to a specificissue during the course of the degree). This expertise will open a range of possible career paths both in the private and in the public sector, including the academic sector both nationally and internationally.
